Provide the student with confidence in their own learning ability. Helping students find learning methods that work for THEM, which they can continue to use in the future is the most important thing, and also the most satisfying thing for me as tutor. My flexible teaching style means the student quickly feels comfortable and isn't afraid to ask…

First, I think a tutor should have good subject and curriculum knowledge so that they may be able to provide as much information as they can towards the kids. I think communication skills is another important thing a tutor must have (the way they explain the topics so that it is easy for the students to understand). Finally a tutor must be patient…

The first thing would be to establish a plan of goals and expectations and help the student identify their role in this plan. Once a tutor has an idea of the expectation of the parents/school/ students then only can progress take shape, and this might have many forms and variations as to how this is executed as the student grows or stalls. So,…

The most important things I can do for a student are to support their individual learning journey and to empower them to believe in their own abilities.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to them.

Then combatting this problem by exploring different ways to present a difficult concept. I do this using analogies and using simple…

More importantly, a tutor is successful when their students succeed and achieve their goals and therefore the most important role of a tutor is to be the individual that guides them to that success.

I believe explaining a concept in such a way that the student understands it intuitively and can thus use that understanding to solve different problems, rather than simply rote-learning a series of facts, is an incredibly important part of being a tutor. The tutor should be adding to a student's toolkit such that they can solve a variety of…

In my humble opinion, I believe that ACTIVE LISTENING is the most important quality that good tutors must possess. - Good tutors must recognise that students generally have an idea of the topic at hand. Instead of simply continuing to "teach" it is vital that tutors ask students of their understanding of the topic so that gaps in knowledge can…

Inside St JamesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mieke worked on visualising data and interpreting graphs, then solved word problems involving graphing data.

In Year 10, Ronja focused on ionic equations and practised calculating titration quantities using stoichiometric ratios.

For Year 11, Fatima reviewed redox equations and oxidation numbers before revisiting subatomic particles and tackling linear equations relevant to chemistry calculations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, the student still shows some minor mistakes in writing chemical formulas, especially when revising ionic and polyatomic ions—missteps that lingered after sessions unless earlier material was rechecked.

A Year 9 student did not complete assigned homework or maintain a school notebook, making it difficult to track progress in new math concepts.

For a Year 6 learner, untidy handwriting made written work hard to read, leading to confusion during revision.

In English (Year 10), one student hesitated to organize thoughts on paper, often leaving drafts unfinished; as the tutor noted, "she writes well but is often hesitant."

Recent Achievements

One St James tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously relied heavily on guidance now summarising the main steps for balancing ionic equations and explaining the stoichiometric ratio's importance in titration problems—an area that had caused confusion before.

In another session, a high schooler began independently solving questions after gaps in balancing half-equations were addressed; she tackled most homework with minimal help, marking a real shift from earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to rush through English assignments is now catching silly mistakes by reviewing his work more carefully, leading to clearer handwriting and fewer errors overall.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Victoria Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Millen Primary School.
